Which VMware product can be installed on and is fully compatible with Server 2008 R2?

I need to install a VMware product on a Windows Server 2008 R2 host operating system which will then run several Server 2008 R2 operating systems as guest operating systems.

Exactly which VMware product is fully compatible and able to do this with Windows Server 2008 R2?

hanccocka,

I'm just interested in trying this in my home test environment.

I'm currently using a desktop computer that has Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V installed on it. I have two Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V virtual machines that both have Exchange Server 2010 installed on them.

Even though my base machine has 24 GB of physical RAM, the performance is sometimes slow in terms of being able to go through the different parts of the Exchange and Windows consoles.

I just wanted to see if I can get faster performance in my home test lab environment which I use for studying and completing different training and lab exercises.

I wouldn't ever consider doing this in a production environment.
